No, it matters. I like to think of it like the worldās dumbest video game.

And then we have scorekeepers to let us know which red and blue ones have been knocked out, but the scorekeepers sometimes donāt do that, which is a bunch of bullshit and is against the rules, but the scorekeepers sometimes bet on the match and try to throw itā¦ But if thereās a mutual KO it falls onto refs, which we also powered up.
Oh, and then thereās the lawsuits. This game confusing af

I was using humor as a literary tool to emphasize how dumb the electoral college is
